On Rails

Looking at Ruby on Rails from a BDD perspective.

Rspec and RJS

Creating an rspec example for an RJS template is pretty straightforward:


it "should replace 'payment'" do
  render "payments/new.rjs"
  response.should have_rjs(:replace_html, "payment") 
end

Currently have_rjs can not detect the use of proxies like:


page[:payment].replace_html :partial => "payment"

You need to use:


page.replace_html "payment", :partial => "payment"

I was wondering how to create an example for a partial being rendered on a replace_html RJS call. Still in the mindset of TDD instead of BDD, I was looking to assert the output. Jake Scruggs put me on the right track: use mock expectations.


it "should replace with partial" do
  @controller.template.should_receive(:render).with(:partial => 'partial_form')    
  render "payments/new.rjs"
end
